Whether you’re planning ahead or managing an estate after a loss, our expert team is here to guide you through every step with personalized solutions.

Wills

A well-drafted will is the cornerstone of any estate plan. We help you create a will that clearly outlines your wishes, ensuring that your assets are distributed according to your intentions. This vital document provides peace of mind, knowing your loved ones will be cared for.

Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA)

An LPA empowers someone you trust to make important decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. Our team will assist you in setting up both health and welfare LPAs and property and financial LPAs, safeguarding your interests in times of need.

Probate

Dealing with the estate of a loved one can be overwhelming. Our probate services are designed to handle the legal and administrative tasks, easing the burden during a difficult time. We ensure the estate is managed efficiently, with all legal requirements met.

Deeds of Variation

A Deed of Variation allows beneficiaries to alter the distribution of an estate after death, often for tax efficiency or to meet family needs. We can guide you through the process, ensuring that any changes are legally binding and in the best interests of all parties involved.

Inheritance Tax Planning

Proper inheritance tax planning can significantly reduce the tax burden on your estate. Our experts work with you to develop strategies that minimize your tax liabilities, preserving more of your wealth for future generations.

Asset Protection Living Trust

An Asset Protection Living Trust is an effective way to safeguard your assets from potential creditors, legal claims, or future care costs. We help you set up these trusts, providing a robust shield for your wealth.

Discretionary Trusts

Discretionary trusts offer flexibility in how and when your assets are distributed. They are particularly useful for protecting vulnerable beneficiaries or managing complex family dynamics. We craft trusts that align with your specific goals and circumstances.

Bloodline Planning

Bloodline planning ensures that your assets remain within your family bloodline, protecting your wealth from divorce settlements, creditors, and other risks. We create tailored strategies that secure your family’s legacy for generations to come.

Conveyancing

Buying or selling property? Our conveyancing services are thorough and efficient, ensuring smooth transactions. We handle all the legal aspects, from contract drafting to final transfer, so you can focus on your new home or investment.

Severance of Tenancy

Severing a joint tenancy can be crucial in protecting your property interests, particularly in estate planning and inheritance tax planning. We provide the necessary legal assistance to sever tenancy, giving you greater control over your estate.
